Frank M. Johnson, Jr., Federal Building and United States Courthouse
Frank M. Johnson, Jr., Federal Building and United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse in Montgomery, Alabama.
The five-story Renaissance Revival structure features Doric columns, rusticated limestone at ground level, and a symmetrical limestone facade at 15 Lee Street.
Built in 1933 during the Great Depression, the courthouse gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 and National Historic Landmark status in 2015.
Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr issued decisions from this courthouse that ended bus segregation in 1956 and authorized the Selma to Montgomery march in 1965.
The building includes modern facilities following the 2002 annex construction, with additional courtrooms and expanded office spaces for federal judicial operations.
The location near the historic Montgomery Bus Station connects this courthouse to multiple civil rights events of the 1950s and 1960s.
